This year at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Louisville, Kentucky, we gave four presentations on Great Lakes coastal wetlands. All four presentations reported model runs that made use of the Mondrian community-ecosystem model. The poster presentation given by graduate student Ye Yuan was her first presentation at a national conference. Congratulations Ye!

Currie, William S., Kenneth J. Elgersma, Jason P. Martina, Sean Sharp, and Deborah E. Golberg.  Plant functional traits, community composition, and environmental conditions combine to produce ecosystem-level N cycling dynamics in an individual-based model of wetlands.  Oral presentation given at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America, August 11-16, 2019 Louisville, KY.

Martina, Jason P., Kenneth J. Elgersma, Sean Sharp, Deborah E. Goldberg, and William S. Currie.  Propagule pressure and clonal branching architecture interact along a nitrogen gradient to influence invasion outcomes in a simulated wetland system.  Oral presentation given at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America, August 11-16, 2019 Louisville, KY.

Sharp, Sean, Kenneth J. Elgersma, Deborah E. Goldberg, Jason P. Martina, and William S. Currie.  Disentangling interactions of Phragmites invasion, hydrology and nutrient loading helps predict N-removal in freshwater coastal wetlands.  Oral presentation given at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America, August 11-16, 2019 Louisville, KY.
